Brutus Beefcake revealed why he did not go to Hulk Hogan’s house to reconcile

Beefcake and Hogan were friends for decades before having a fallout. It so happened that Hulk Hogan had ‘hit on’ Brutus Beefcake’s wife, and the duo’s friendship fell apart.

While speaking to TMZ Sports, Beefcake revealed that he had thought of reconciling with Hogan in his final days, but was worried that his family would not let him in. However, he wishes he had gone through with it.

I was gonna try to go to his house a couple of days ago. My wife said, ‘You should just go over there,’ and I was thinking, oh my God, but if I go to the house and they say, ‘No, you can’t come in,’ it would have crushed me, so I didn’t, and now I wish maybe that I had tried to get in and tried to get to see him before he passed.

The duo are well-known for defeating Randy Savage and Zeus in SummerSlam 1989.
